Though he seems to like running several TTs in parallel, I do not interpret Pham's page to show that he is running more than just one horn system; what I see is an evolution of a system. It looks like, in its latest iteration (under the heading "Syst...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

GOTO make me feel it renders the musicians like they are ghosts. They are all in there but floating and slightly transparent.I think the reason for that is GOTO does very interesting things at highs and mid-highs but while it goes down at the frequen...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was thinking about the throat of my hypothetic midbass horn. This is complex, controversial and it has pretty much no answer, at least in the formeat I ask it. I will share my thoughts with you.

thanks I have a few questions to ask if you do not mind:
1) Did you experiment with surface of the horns and a negative contribution of smooth surface to Sound?Smooth surface are fine don't waste my time on a trival matters.

I got an email from a site visitor informing me that there us a set of cheap ALE drivers at London Craigslist: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/eld/4435844980.html(copy locally to have it available after the Craigslist posting will be gone) "ALE Acoust...

TwoGoodEars posted at his blog a report about is listening session or some kind of installation. I still have no idea who’s installation it is: Jean Hiraga or Be Yamamura. Nevertheless, I think it very much worth to look into it.

Personal, I do not use WE555 and I do not (would not) use the WE555-type horns. Hypothetically if one would go for 4-way system with WE555-like driver in upperbass then it is valid solution, not something that I appreciate but valid. The WE555 is ve...

Hm, I do not think that it all might be as expensive. If I rebuild Macondo now from scratch then it will be probably around $10K-$12K. The cost of midbass horn will be we around $15K and the 12ch DSET would be around $18K. So the number of $40K does ...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE bu...

Eduardo,
Thanks for your thoughts and illustrations. I also do not feel that loosely-suspended very small metal cone might be a right solution for midbass. To develop LF you need pressure, pressure is surface by exertion – there is nothing els...

The images are clickable. The test and the commentaries are less informative. Still, it an interesting information.

I agree the "period" closing needs more words, Roman.The P.A. horns/drivers were mounted in stadiums, convention centers, maxonic halls, cinemas, theaters, everywhere was needed a broad music or speech dispersion, trouble free operation and high S.P....

Johan, I understand what you are saying. This is kind of James’ barn thread and if you do not mind can you share with him one thing, I think that many others, including me, would be interested to learn the answer to this question: What did you gain g...

Romy Hi, which drivers should I be looking at/ listening to , friends of mine ( whose ears I respect ) like the TAD drivers, the GOTO and ALE are too expensive, I know you use the Vitavox, thanks in advance ,Keith....

So, I have been looking into suitable valves to base a preamplifer around that are suitable for driving the DSET's. The pre must have a broad bandwidth, low output impedance, some current drive, and not be prone too easily to microphony. Oh, and pr...

... indeed, your approach is illuministic and curious... it would great you'd taste this system with your own ears and sensibility and listening biases (unbiased...)...The ALE/Yamamura's system is in Bologna, Northern Italy and a listening can be arr...

Well I don't know a better place to post it, and I do not feel it is enough information to justify a new topic.IIRC the ALE 160 driver is reported here (goodsoundclub) as having a 4" throat diameter but I found out it may be indeed 5" but with a "SUP...

Romy,In general thinking, I mean in average, a horn to be used with ALE P160 or GOTO SG-146LD with a mouth of 2.8m x 2m (5.6m²) or 110" x ~79", is appropriated to going down to how many cycle, considering full mouth? What should be the length?Thanks!...

I was thinking ESD drivers may have a true advantage over ALE/GOTO/Others (apparently they actually know how their drivers work) if that allow to someone design the horn exactly the way he/she want, and later order the driver with custom specs to mat...
